Members of Protest in Harmony joined singers from the Open Community Singing Group, Portobello Community Choir and Wildfire to sing a Sami Yoik, We Speak Earth, in support of the Sami community which will be devastated by the increasing effects of climate change.
We met together at Portobello Beach, luckily in some welcome sunshine after days of stormy weather, to sing together and make a sight and sound bite to share on YouTube on 12th December for the Paris Climate Summit 2015.
Singing it outdoors on the sand with the sea behind us and the sun shining on us, with the sound of the waves, the gulls and the breeze surrounding us made it all the more enjoyable and meaningful.
